Goodbye Formal Dining Room, Hello Light-Filled Kitchen

We're opening walls, rethinking flow, and designing with nature in mind.

We're excited to kick off a kitchen renovation that's going to bring warmth, light, and purpose back into this home — and we're sharing the plan before the first cabinet comes off the wall.

Saying Goodbye to the Formal Dining Room

One of the biggest changes in this remodel? We'll be removing the wall between the existing kitchen and the formal dining room — an underutilized space the homeowners were more than happy to trade for a larger, more functional kitchen. We'll also be expanding the opening between the former dining room and the front sitting room, allowing for a more natural flow from space to space. The goal is to create a comfortable layout that feels intentional, open, and better aligned with how this family uses their home.

A Kitchen That Brings the Outdoors In

The homeowners are nature lovers — their backyard is a haven for birds and other wildlife, and they wanted that connection to be part of their everyday kitchen experience. We'll be centering the farmhouse sink under a trio of large windows, bringing in natural light and opening up sightlines to their beautiful yard. Every design decision, from window placement to layout to finish selections, is rooted in this desire to connect indoors and out.

What's Ahead

The new kitchen will feature custom cabinetry, a central island with seating, and a thoughtful mix of quartz and natural stone countertops for both style and durability. We're going with a soft, coastal-inspired palette of white and navy cabinetry, oak-look flooring, and an arabesque backsplash that adds texture and charm. Built-in storage solutions, updated appliance zones, and better flow throughout the entire first floor will make this renovation feel like more than just a kitchen update — it will feel like a whole-home upgrade.
